The Book of Isaiah
2:1 The word that Isaiah the son of Amoz saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem.
2:2And it shall come to pass in the latter days, that the mountain of Jehovah's house
shall be established on the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the
hills; and all nations shall flow unto it. 2:3And many peoples shall go and say,
Come ye, and let us go up to the mountain of Jehovah, to the house of the God of
Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for out of
Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of Jehovah from Jerusalem. 2:4And he
will judge between the nations, and will decide concerning many peoples; and
they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning-hooks;
nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any
more. 2:5O house of Jacob, come ye, and let us walk in the light of Jehovah. 2:6For
thou hast forsaken thy people the house of Jacob, because they are filled with
customs from the east, and are soothsayers like the Philistines, and they strike
hands with the children of foreigners. 2:7And their land is full of silver and gold,
neither is there any end of their treasures; their land also is full of horses, neither
is there any end of their chariots. 2:8Their land also is full of idols; they worship the
work of their own hands, that which their own fingers have made. 2:9And the mean
man is bowed down, and the great man is brought low: therefore forgive them
not. 2:10Enter into the rock, and hide thee in the dust, from before the terror of
Jehovah, and from the glory of his majesty. 2:11The lofty looks of man shall be
brought low, and the haughtiness of men shall be bowed down, and Jehovah
alone shall be exalted in that day. 2:12For there shall be a day of Jehovah of hosts
upon all that is proud and haughty, and upon all that is lifted up; and it shall be
brought low; 2:13and upon all the cedars of Lebanon, that are high and lifted up,
and upon all the oaks of Bashan, 2:14and upon all the high mountains, and upon all
the hills that are lifted up, 2:15and upon every lofty tower, and upon every fortified
wall, 2:16and upon all the ships of Tarshish, and upon all pleasant imagery. 2:17And
the loftiness of man shall be bowed down, and the haughtiness of men shall be
brought low; and Jehovah alone shall be exalted in that day. 2:18And the idols shall
utterly pass away. 2:19And men shall go into the caves of the rocks, and into the
holes of the earth, from before the terror of Jehovah, and from the glory of his
majesty, when he ariseth to shake mightily the earth. 2:20In that day men shall cast
away their idols of silver, and their idols of gold, which have been made for them
to worship, to the moles and to the bats; 2:21to go into the caverns of the rocks, and
into the clefts of the ragged rocks, from before the terror of Jehovah, and from the
glory of his majesty, when he ariseth to shake mightily the earth. 2:22Cease ye from
man, whose breath is in his nostrils; for wherein is he to be accounted of?
